Derale Electric Fan Trouble

I have a 16 inch Derale Electric fan. It's set up with a temp sensor and relay so it will turn on automatically at 185 and shut at 170.

The car cranks and starts with the touch of the key when its cold/below 185. But when I try and start it with the temp over 185, slow cranking & doesn't run as well. Any suggestions for mistaken wiring or something?

Re: Derale Electric Fan Trouble

Do you have headers? Or a different starter? if so you may be getting heat soak on the starter, causing it to perform worse once hot.
